Quantum of Solace

In his second slam-bang outing as Bond, James Bond, Daniel Craig once again is all macho dash and panache. The thrill-a-minute spy-jinks spirit him from Austria to Italy to South America as he seeks to avenge betrayal by a loved one while trying to stop a renegade environmentalist from monopolizing the "world's most precious [natural] resource." Judi Dench returns as M, and Jeffrey Wright is again on board as CIA operative Felix Leiter. Olga Kurylenko costars as the Bond girl Camille.
